Keep your pets healthy and flea free this summer without using chemicals!

Never use anything on a pet that you wouldn’t want on your own skin.
Anything you apply topically on your pet gets absorbed into the bloodstream. Each time the chemical is used, the immune system is under attack. Many pets appear drugged, nervous or lethargic after using chemical flea products. Some chemical flea collars have even been linked to pet poisonings. Pesticides which are left on indefinitely can also cause skin irritations and hair loss.

The stronger the pet’s immune system, the less susceptible it is to any problem (including fleas and ticks!). Summer is the best time to consider doubling up on supplements to combat the naturally occurring environmental stresses your pet might encounter.

Nothing takes the place of good grooming, a great flea comb, great food and a clean environment. Spend just 5 to 10 minutes a day enhancing your pet’s skin and coat. Make sure your shampoo contains no detergents, and your topical products are natural and contain only the finest essential oils and extracts. Your pets will not only smell great, but they’ll help to repel their own pests naturally!
